Abstract (EN): Last decade has witnessed the birth and dissemination of microgeneration (MG) in most EU countries. MG growth and diffusion in LV networks are expected to continue in the next decade. At the same time, the interest on energy storage systems (ESS) applications to power systems has been intensifying in the last years, following some major technological achievements that improved ESS abilities and decreased their price. This article analyzes the impacts of MG and ESS dissemination in LV networks' losses. The central goal is to estimate the global impact on the Portuguese LV distribution system. For that purpose, a set of empirical studies was carried out over a set of representative networks, in which different MG and ESS scenarios were considered. The extrapolation of the results to the global LV points out to a loss reduction potential of more than 15%.
